The solution was posted at epox msgboard.
At the lilo prompt, type in "linux x86_serial_nr=1".
Then you're all set, the kernal will find a serial number and be happy.
I tried different ways to amend the /etc/lilo.conf, include 'append...',
'default=linux x86...', etc, so that I don't have to
watch the lilo prompt. So far not successful.
